Beer Two Birds Brewing Et Tu, Brut? IPA

The puns keep coming thick and fast from the team at Two Birds – as do the IPAs – with this one continuing in the same theme as the brewery's recent NEIPA. Here, we go from Jucius Caesar to Et Tu, Brut? and from hazy IPA to their take on the Brut variant.

Without travelling to the West Coast of the US to try the beers that launched the style, we can't be certain exactly how such beers are supposed to present, but this one seems to tick the boxes from its descriptors. It's very pale and clear, its highly aromatic and it finishes very dry. What's more, the hop character is of the sort that offers more than a nod to white wine, albeit with a light malty sweetness and added intensity on the palate from the bitterness.

If this is how Brut IPAs are supposed to be, we'll happily take one in the back for the team.

The Crafty Pint is an independent online magazine and resource for anyone interested in craft beer in Australia. We bring an honest, old-fashioned journalistic approach to beer's brave new world, telling stories because they're worth telling not because someone is paying us to write them.

Like many of the people who have changed the face of beer in Australia, we believe in authenticity, integrity, enjoyment and love. We hope to play a role in helping good beer, brewed by good people, find its way into the hands of more drinkers.
